Chapter 142: Stealing Snacks from Xiao Jia, a Sure Way to Invite Death!

Chapter 142: Stealing Snacks from Xiao Jia, a Sure Way to Invite Death!

The Supreme Thunderbolt descended upon the imperial harem.

Divine Infancy Cultivators from Bright Palace were all annihilated.

Qi Yuan, holding a Memory Stone, recorded this scene.

"It's a pity that the Divine Flower Society's forum doesn't allow posting images or videos.

Otherwise, if the image of Bright Palace being struck by Celestial Punishment and the Thunderbolt from Heaven were to leak out, I could stand on the moral high ground."

Even the heavens couldn't bear to strike you, is Bright Palace still fine?"

Despite being unable to post videos, Qi Yuan decided to record it anyway.

Perhaps, one day, it would be broadcast.

After finishing the recording, Qi Yuan prepared to leave Wei Country.

After all, he still had many places to go.

And there were still many personas yet to be revealed.

Sometimes, he simply threw his Blood Blade to act as a persona, not enough.

He needed to create chaos everywhere to appear more formidable with numbers, right?

Holding the Memory Stone, amidst the thunder, Qi Yuan was about to leave.

In the vast palace, numerous cultivators looked up at him with gratitude and bowed respectfully.

Among them were elders, robust young men, and even children.

"Thank you, Senior, for saving Wei Country!"

"Wei Country will forever remember your kindness, Senior!"

In the Hundred Nations Blood Battle, some nations were willing to negotiate, while others refused.

However, in the face of the powerful Bright Palace, they had no ability to resist and could only become pawns.

The more they resisted Bright Palace, the more they would fall into the demonic path, completely succumbing.

Sensing the goodwill of many cultivators, Qi Yuan declared, "We cultivators, if we commit many unjust deeds, will surely face Celestial Punishment!

You all should do more good deeds!"

After spreading some positive energy, Qi Yuan's figure vanished.

Leaving behind a group of cultivators filled with excitement and uncertainty.

...

Bloodless City.

The Blood Crystal Mine stretched for dozens of miles, and as far as the eye could see, it was a sea of crimson.

At this moment, Qi Yuan gazed at the figure ahead, and a hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Jia was in the midst of the mine, collecting countless blood crystals and hiding them somewhere.

Qi Yuan smiled warmly.

Feeding Xiao Jia always brought him joy.

After about an hour, Xiao Jia emerged from the mine and flew over to Qi Yuan's side.

She tightly held onto his sleeve, and a wooden plaque, a source of her happiness, slipped out from her cuff.

"Feel free to eat, this mine is now my personal property," Qi Yuan said generously.

The Blood Crystal Mine in Bloodless City had already been secured by Dry Wood True Monarch for Qi Yuan.

Every day, a significant amount of blood crystals would be sent to Seven Color Peak.

This time, Qi Yuan had sought permission from the sect leader to collect blood crystals in Bloodless City.

In reality, he didn't spend most of his time in the mine.

Instead, he used his personas to wreak havoc and conquer all directions.

Of course, others believed he was in the mine.

"Let's go, Xiao Jia, time to head home," Qi Yuan said, leading Xiao Jia away from the mine.

At this moment, outside the Blood Crystal Mine.

Liu Guan's face was filled with apprehension, and his granddaughter, Duan Qianrou, stood by his side, her mind swirling with thoughts.

Recently, Liu Guan had participated in the siege against the Black Chicken Old Demon, teaming up with a Mysterious Heaven's Pride cultivator. In the end, he suffered a soul injury and fell unconscious, only to be sent home by that Mysterious Heaven's Pride cultivator.

Liu Guan had always been curious about the identity of this Mysterious Heaven's Pride cultivator.

After all, this cultivator had slain a Jade Core Late Formation Stage cultivator during the Foundation Establishment Stage!

"Grandfather, is he really that person? If not, who is he?" Duan Qianrou also recalled the young man her mother had encountered on the flying boat, the same one she met while riding the Cloud Rabbit Chariot.

Now it seemed likely that he was the one who had destroyed the Black Mountain Sect.

Liu Guan's face showed helplessness, "I hope so..."

Duan Qianrou's expression was complex.

She was in charge of this Blood Crystal Mine.

Previously, a direct disciple of Desire Realm Sect had used his status to pressure the Duan Family, forcing them to deliver blood crystals to the sect at regular intervals.

Duan Qianrou had no choice but to agree.

However, Divine Radiance Sect later intervened and seized all the blood crystal mines in Bloodless City.

Their blood crystals could only be supplied to Divine Radiance Sect.

As for the person from Desire Realm Sect, they had to cut ties.

But in recent days, that direct disciple from Desire Realm Sect had come knocking on their door.

Duan Qianrou had explained everything, but the person from Desire Realm Sect didn't care and gave them a deadline.

They even threatened to take the blood crystals themselves if the Duan Family didn't comply.

Duan Qianrou had reported this to Divine Radiance Sect, but unfortunately, the sect was too far away, and the person they sent to handle the matter hadn't arrived yet.

Now, they could only pin their hopes on Qi Yuan.

The gate of the Blood Crystal Mine opened, and Qi Yuan, clad in a white robe, appeared, exuding exceptional handsomeness.

Xiao Jia, dressed in a bright red blood-colored outfit, followed him obediently.

This scene, to be honest, was somewhat eerie for Duan Qianrou.

She mustered the courage to say, "Greetings, Master Qi Yuan!"

Qi Yuan glanced at the two of them, "Why are you waiting here? What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Master, it's about Ji Ruxue from Desire Realm Sect..." Duan Qianrou truthfully explained the situation while observing Qi Yuan's reaction.

After all, a sect's direct disciple held a high position, and they might not only refuse to help but also blame them for such matters.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan looked at Duan Qianrou, "Is this true?"

"I swear, I dare not deceive you, Master!" The current Duan Qianrou was extremely humble before Qi Yuan, a stark contrast to her previous arrogant attitude.

Qi Yuan examined Duan Qianrou, and hidden information surfaced, confirming she wasn't lying. Qi Yuan coldly said, "I never thought someone would dare to steal Xiao Jia's snacks. They are truly bold."

Ever since Qi Yuan considered Bright Palace a formidable enemy, he rarely encountered weak opponents.

Now, with someone daring to steal Xiao Jia's snacks, he naturally had to take action.

Occasionally stepping on weak opponents was a fun change from constantly battling Divine Infancy and Purple Mansion cultivators.

Otherwise, constantly fighting them would become monotonous.

After all, even Old Master Bi, after countless battles, had become gloomy.

Mingling with the young made him feel youthful again.

Otherwise, why would the rich on Blue Star enjoy hanging out with the young?

"Let's go and see just how daring this Ji Ruxue from Desire Realm Sect is."

Hearing this, Duan Qianrou's heart was set at ease, and she secretly rejoiced.

As long as Qi Yuan makes a move, this matter will be resolved.

...

Bloodless City, a secluded yet grand estate.

Ji Ruxue, with snow-white hair and a more captivating beauty than her sister Ji Bosheng.

At this moment, she twirled her jade-like fingers through her white hair, a smile on her face, "I didn't expect to come here and still encounter someone specifically requested by Senior Immortal Wind Wrath."

Desire Realm Sect is divided into two factions, one led by the Ji family and the other by the Divine family.

The Divine family maintains a low profile and rarely makes an appearance.

Currently, the Ji family holds the reins of power in the Desire Realm Sect.

Recently, the Desire Realm Sect has been colluding with the Bright Palace.

Ji Ruxue's sister, Ji Bosheng, was even sent to accompany the old man, Senior Immortal Liuqin.

At this time, two Divine Infancy Cultivators stood beside Ji Ruxue, their eyes filled with mirth.

Ji Mingqiu's brows relaxed as he smiled, "Qi Yuan is truly fearless, daring to venture out alone."

"This time, we will definitely capture him and present him to Senior Immortal Dry Wood!"

"It's a pity that Kang Fulu is being extremely cautious these days, never leaving his sect's gates. We can only catch... Qi Yuan.

Sigh, his value is still too insignificant.

Even if we offer him to Senior Immortal Wind Wrath, he won't value us!" Ji Chuzhen's eyes carried a hint of regret as he spoke.

"It's good enough to have someone to capture, and you're still being picky!" Ji Mingqiu interjected.

"Our informants have received news that he's heading this way and will arrive soon, saving us the trouble of going out to find him." Ji Ruxue proudly announced.

The three individuals in the room already held the advantage.

After all, with two Divine Infancy Cultivators and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, how could Qi Yuan possibly resist? Even if Kang Fulu were here, it wouldn't make a difference.

Their strength was already an overestimation of Qi Yuan's abilities.

Approximately the time it takes to burn a stick of incense passed.

Outside the residence, Qi Yuan, Xiao Jia, Liu Guan, and Duan Qianrou appeared.

Duan Qianrou was about to knock on the door.

Qi Yuan's gaze stopped her, and he took a step forward, speaking lazily, "Those inside, come out. You're surrounded by me."

Duan Qianrou and Liu Guan exchanged glances but remained silent.

At that moment, a light laughter echoed from within the courtyard, and a woman with snow-white hair emerged, her eyes filled with ease, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, is there something important to discuss?"

Seeing Ji Ruxue's relaxed demeanor, Duan Qianrou's heart sank with an ominous premonition.

She didn't know why, but she felt something was amiss.

Liu Guan's brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a perplexed look.

Although Ji Ruxue was Ji Bosheng's younger sister, she was a concubine's child and lacked talent, only a regular true disciple in the Desire Realm Sect, incomparable to Qi Yuan, the peak leader's top disciple.

Was she too confident?

Qi Yuan seemed oblivious to their thoughts and spoke bluntly, "I'm here to inform you that if you dare to steal my Xiao Jia's snacks again, you'll go straight to hell to join your ancestors!"

Qi Yuan was known for his impulsive killings.

Ji Ruxue was stunned.

She knew Qi Yuan had come to cause trouble.

But why did it escalate to murder with a single disagreement?

Fortunately...

Ji Ruxue's face turned cold, "You want to kill me? You should worry about saving yourself first!"

As Ji Ruxue spoke, two overwhelmingly powerful auras suddenly permeated the residence.

Ji Mingqiu and Ji Chu, two Divine Infancy Cultivators, appeared, their formidable auras surging and causing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to stir.

Ji Chu's eyes sparkled with laughter, "Nephew, how have you been?"

"Divine Infancy Cultivator?"

The sudden appearance of the two Divine Infancy Cultivators turned Duan Qianrou's face pale instantly.

Liu Guan was terrified, his eyes reflecting disbelief.

Had they stumbled into a major conflict?

They were done for, doomed to die here.

Read the error-free version on 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar, the first to release this novel.

Facing the two Divine Infancy Cultivators, Qi Yuan remained remarkably composed, "Sigh, I just wanted to teach that good-for-nothing a lesson. Why are these big good-for-for-nothings so eager to rush to their deaths?"

Ji Chu and Ji Mingqiu were momentarily taken aback.

Ji Mingqiu spoke in a cold tone, "No wonder you're as crazy as the rumors say."

As he spoke, he took action.

The power of the Divine Infancy Cultivators' cultivation surged.

This was far beyond what a Jade Core Cultivator could match.

Liu Guan's spine chilled, his heart filled with anxiety and despair.

Recently, that mysterious protagonist had slain a Late Core Formation Stage Cultivator with a single strike. Even if it were Qi Yuan, he would be an unparalleled genius.

But now, they faced two Divine Infancy Cultivators, one of them in the Mid-stage Divine Infancy, on par with the Supreme Leader of the Divine Light Sect.

When such powerful cultivators took action, they would undoubtedly employ thunderous methods, leaving no survivors.

However, at that moment, Qi Yuan yawned, "As expected, Divine Infancy Cultivators from small places still can't compare to those from larger sects."

He could clearly sense the difference between the Divine Infancy Cultivator before him and the one he had slain at Lingfeng Du.

The gap was significant, but they were equally weak.

Qi Yuan's fingers lightly tapped, and a broken sword materialized in the void.

Facing Ji Mingqiu's attack, the broken sword gently thrust forward.

"To kill you, what divine ability is needed?"

As the words fell, the broken sword effortlessly swept away Ji Mingqiu's attack, continuing forward and directly piercing through his protective spiritual energy, striking his Divine Infant.

The Divine Infant shattered instantly, more fragile than glass.

Ji Mingqiu's eyes widened, and before he could even react... he died.

A Mid-stage Divine Infancy Cultivator, one of the strongest in the Great Shang, had died just like that?

Ji Chu's eyes nearly burst with rage, his expression incredulous, "You're not Qi Yuan!"

The scene before them was too terrifying and exaggerated.

Without hesitation, he immediately used his divine ability to escape.

However, his escape seemed like a turtle's pace to Qi Yuan.

"Die." Qi Yuan spoke, and his words became reality.

Ji Chu, a Mid-stage Divine Infancy Cultivator, inexplicably exploded, his death absolute.

In a mere breath, both Divine Infancy Cultivators had perished.

At that moment, Ji Ruxue's face was filled with terror, and she retreated, but suddenly, her neck twisted, and she too died there.

Three enemies, all eliminated in an instant.

Everything had happened suddenly and hastily.

It was as if the one who died wasn't a Divine Infancy Cultivator but... a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Liu Guan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wasn't Qi Yuan a disciple of Seven Color Peak?

How did he suddenly... kill two Divine Infancy Cultivators?

The Supreme Leader of the Divine Radiance Sect, could they have done something like this?

His body trembled, unable to comprehend the scene before him.

As for Duan Qianrou, she lay on the ground, seemingly knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the battle.

"Alright, the person is dead. It's time to leave. Stop pretending to be unconscious," Qi Yuan glanced at Duan Qianrou.

Her acting skills for pretending to be unconscious were terrible.

Duan Qianrou finally got up.

She looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with fear.

Indeed, fear.

"Senior..." Duan Qianrou's voice quivered.

"Why are you calling me 'Senior'? Am I that old? Call me... Master Qi Yuan," Qi Yuan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Qianrou's gums trembled, unsure of the fate that awaited her.

After all, they had inadvertently witnessed such a terrifying event and might be silenced.

Qi Yuan glanced at Liu Guan, "You're not bad."

During the encirclement and suppression of the Black Chicken Old Demon, no one was willing to team up with a mere Qi Condensation cultivator like Liu Guan, except for him."

Liu Guan, upon hearing this, thought of something and felt a surge of joy.

Could it be... it's really him?

"You don't need to worry. I'm not a bloodthirsty person. Just swear upon your heart demon that you won't reveal today's events in any way, and this matter will be considered resolved," Qi Yuan said casually.

For now, the Bright Palace had not been annihilated.

Naturally, he still needed to conceal his identity and not expose his true strength.

"Senior, if I reveal even a shred of today's events, I will surely not die a good death!" Liu Guan said, quickly swearing.

Duan Qianrou also followed suit and swore.

Both of them felt a sense of relief, as if they had narrowly escaped death.

Simultaneously, they looked at Qi Yuan with deep reverence.

What had happened today seemed like a dream.

"Alright, the person is dead. I need to return to the peak," Qi Yuan said, leaving with Xiao Jia. Before departing, he glanced at Liu Guan, "Compared to before, you're not as weak. If you had fainted today, I would have had to send you away."

After saying this, Qi Yuan and Xiao Jia's figures disappeared.

Only Liu Guan and Duan Qianrou were left, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

Duan Qianrou looked at Liu Guan, "Grandfather, is it really him?"

"It is... absolutely!" Liu Guan's eyes shone with intense light.

Qi Yuan's Foundation Establishment Stage killing a Late Core Formation Stage cultivator was still understandable.

But today's events had exceeded his imagination.

Could it be that Qi Yuan was the reincarnation of some deity? Only this could explain it!

What a tremendous opportunity!

His heart trembled.

After a long while, his emotions finally calmed down.

"Qianrou, from now on, don't mention the matter of relocation.

We must share life and death with the Great Merchant!

Collect more blood crystals, and next time I'll personally deliver them to the Divine Radiance Sect!"

Such a tremendous opportunity, how could they not cling to it for dear life?

...

When Qi Yuan returned to the Seven Color Peak, he received a summons from the Peak Leader.

At this moment, Qi Yuan stood in the main hall of the sect, looking at the Dry Wood Senior Immortal and slowly spoke, "Peak Leader, what did you call me for?"

As Qi Yuan spoke, he also glanced at Kang Fulu, who was standing beside the Peak Leader.

Kang Fulu had already entered the Jade Core Stage.

This surprised Qi Yuan.

"Do you remember the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament we mentioned some time ago?" the Peak Leader asked.

"Of course I remember," Qi Yuan replied.

"The Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament has been suddenly moved up, and it will begin in one or two months.

This time, you and Kang Fulu will participate together," the Peak Leader said.

Qi Yuan was stunned upon hearing this.

So soon?

"How long will the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament last before a result is determined?" Qi Yuan asked.

He was in a hurry to annihilate the Bright Palace and had no time for tournaments.

"It could be as short as half a month or as long as several years. There's no definite answer," the Peak Leader replied.

Qi Yuan's expression turned pale, "Can I not go?"

The Peak Leader was taken aback. He looked at Qi Yuan without saying anything, but his expression was extremely gloomy.

Kang Fulu spoke gently, "Brother Qi Yuan, have you encountered some trouble? Feel free to tell us, and we'll help you solve it."

"I'm preparing to annihilate the Bright Palace. I don't have time to participate in this Heaven's Pride Tournament," Qi Yuan said casually.

After all, no one would believe him, so he might as well tell the truth.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Kang Fulu's gentle smile froze.

This trouble of yours is a real problem, and you dare to speak of it!

The Peak Leader looked at Qi Yuan and said coldly, "This time, the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament will be held in the Green Cloud Continent, not far from the Bright Palace. It won't hinder you from annihilating... the Bright Palace!"

The Peak Leader intentionally emphasized the last four words to express his inner emotions.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's face lit up with joy, "Since that's the case, Peak Leader, rest assured. When I annihilate the Bright Palace, I will definitely participate in the Heaven's Pride Tournament and achieve a good result!"

Since it was on the way, it wouldn't affect his plan to annihilate the Bright Palace.

The Peak Leader looked at Qi Yuan helplessly.

"I didn't expect the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament to be moved up.

You've just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, and your cultivation hasn't improved much.

For the Heaven's Pride Tournament, you don't need to aim for an excellent result, just do your best."

Originally, the Eastern Land Heaven's Pride Tournament wouldn't have been so rushed, and Qi Yuan would have had more time to improve his cultivation.

But now, with the sudden announcement, the hope of Qi Yuan placing in the top hundred became even more slim.

The Peak Leader could only pin all his hopes on his son-in-law, Kang Fulu.

"Peak Leader, rest assured. The treasure you gave me last time was of great help.

This time, I'll definitely bring back your clan's treasure!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

The Peak Leader smiled helplessly.

"When you go to the Eastern Land, don't reveal your identities. There's a Divine Infancy Stage Elder in the Bright Palace who seems hostile towards you."

Qi Yuan nodded.

The Peak Leader was talking about Wind Wrath Senior Immortal, right?

He was already dead.

In a few days, the news would likely spread.
